LED Spot MR16 (GU10/GU5.3)

LED Spots MR16 in Lamp Shape and GU5.3 or GU10

These are alongside the familiar light bulb the biggest "electricity guzzlers".The level of efficiency (luminous efficacy rating) is not noticeably better thanof the ligh bulb. It is just the MR16 design which is still in use as halogenlamps and could be exchanged without compromising immediately againstLED spots. The energy saving is about 85%.

The socket types of LED Spots MR16

The so-called low-voltage lamps have lead pins type GU5.3 and are simply plugged into the socket. Thepin distance is just 5.3mm.

The operation is possible with 12V AC or DC, which consists of a LED transformer. It should be ensuredthat the minimum load is not exceeded by energy-saving LEDON spots. Often a replacement of oldtransformers with modern LED transformers is needed.

This socket follows the bayonet principle. The LEDON Spots MR16 types are pushed into the socket andthen will be rotated to fix it. An exchange takes usually no problems. There is nothing to take care for.

The topic with dimming by LEDON Spots MR16

While halogen bulbs could be dimmed easily, it is only possible with LEDON spots and other LED lamps,which are explicit marked accordingly as "dimmable". With low voltage care must be taken to ensure if thetransformer is also dimmable. If you ignore it, so there may be flickering at LED spots and both of themcould be destroyed.

Most application of MR16:

Hotels, restaurants, offices and meeting rooms. Actually everywhere where previously MR16 halogen lampsare used. There is no more reason to wait for.
